Gold, Oil Prices Slip as Fed Anxieties Run High

Oil prices fell on Monday to settle at their lowest level in over two weeks. The incoming interest rate decision generated uncertainty around crude demand and production, with investors also keeping an eye on an Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies (OPEC+) committee meeting on Wednesday. March-dated crude dipped $1.78, or 2.2%, to settle at $77.90 per barrel.

The upcoming Fed meeting also weighed on gold prices, which settled lower despite notching its  longest weekly win streak since August 2020 in the previous session. February-dated gold shed $6.40, or 0.3%, to settle at $1,939.20 per ounce.
